"Casting
The Characters
for the Ddiaries" and
"GoodTime Charley"By Josie
Cory

"Casting
the parts for Disappointment
Diaries"
-- came about while Troy was
completing the introductory spiel
to open each "Ddiaries" episode
with co-writer Rob Gibson. He
asked Rob to look for the actors
who could play GoodTime, Chancy
and do the voice of Amber. Troy
thought a Bogart type of guy
could add character and
recognition to the principal role
of GoodTime Charley, like
the character Troy
portrayed in a China Cigarette
Ad.
As for Chancy, he should be
computercentric, and the voice
for Amber should be someone with
a distinctive sound that could
add credibility to the
storyline.----To
that end, Rob brought in a couple
of actors and several female VO
narrators, all displayed the
demeanors tinged with looks
needed for the part, which Rob
thought might lend themselves to
the air of a Humphrey Bogart for
the GoodTime Charley role. Josie
recommended our own computer
editor, Victor Caballero, who
seemed to be the ideal candidate
for Chancy , a shy insularity and
ambiverted
character.
----"When I met Victor for
the first time, I knew he was a
computer-wise Chancy ," says
Troy. He was about 15 at the
time. I felt that Victor had an
innate gravity that would
immediately help flesh out the
character of Chancy. But Troy
also saw the young man had
another quality that made him
perfect for the demanding role:
his way and dedication to the
computer. It represented his only
true voice, as he seemed to find
communication, especially on an
emotional level, a profound
challenge.
----Young teenagers around
the world are known for being
moody and incommunicative, but in
Chancy's story there is something
more. There is the sense that
Chancy has an inner life, the
rhythm of which differs from that
of the world around him.
--- Troy says the computer
is so vital to the story because
only youth or Chancy is foolish
enough to take a risk and change,
to live impulsively and follow
his or her heart at the expense
of all reason or common sense.
---- Further, the
propensity to indulge this
youthful gadgetry folly is much
greater, and easier to portray in
the new world wide web
world-order than that of fitting
the older Troy Cory or the
GoodTime Charley character --
coming-of-age.
----"Actually, I find
myself feeling mistrustful of
young people these days," says
Troy. "I was constrained as a
teenager to be so impulsive, my
dreams were limited by the same
type of political and social
correctness and affirmative
action being used today. The only
difference was, the rules guiding
competition, sex, and where the
money was, were not spelled
out."
----Since then, it seems
sociologists have taken time out
to look at the human side of the
human product created by our own
social engineering of the 60s to
the present. China's Cultural
Revolutionary experiences have
developed opposite attitudes.
China's working habits tend
toward "living to work" and our
young people somehow or another
fell into the "work to live"
philosophy.
----America's "baby
boomers", were faced with biased
choices, and many of us were
forced to denounce family members
with unorthodox "swinging
habits", and were at times bussed
to "special" schools to become
"productive members of society."
--- Our youthful energy
and lust for life were subjugated
wholesale into this social
engineering revolution, whereby
our individual leanings were
melted into the trends of local
society. We could still find
beauty in simple things, but we
were anything but happy-go-lucky
or carefree, Chancys or Mama
Sunshines of
today.
----As in "Sad Movies",
the leading disappointments are
the suicides and deaths of a few
well-known entertainers who
confront many temptations to
abandon their true selves and
make lonely choices by doing
themselves
in.
--- This episode reflects
the disappointments of the Golden
years of Hollywood, (60s, 70s) --
and the tragic ending of Jan and
Dean's singing careers. The CBS
Special Movie of the Week,
"Deadman's Curve", 1978, starred
Priscilla Cory, Richard Hatch,
Bruce Davison and was produced by
Pat Rooney.
---- The life of an
entertainer not only lends itself
to dramatic story telling by its
very nature, but also the
characters developed around them
contribute equally to the power
of the story. "After all," says
Troy, "it is through the other
well-known people like, Mao,
Hitler, Clinton and Deng Xiaoping
and their characters'
transformation, that we
appreciate a good disappointment.
---- The Internet is the
digital cemetery, a soul find for
every story known to man. More
sooner than later, with the click
of the finger, your little mouse
on soulfind.com, will be the key
to open any tombstone that has a
name on it. That's what Chancy
calls the imaging of "Ddiaries."

Who
is Chancy?.
. Chancy Cab was an incredibly talented
13-year-old computer prodigy who still
lives close to his MOTHER in a small,
city. He is shy and is very sensitive
about being referred to as a computer nerd
with a photographic brain, who steals
everything he sees and hears.---
Chancy
doesn't say much about the teachings of
the free enterprise system. He clicks
anything on the browser that refers to the
word "music", "look", "smart",
"bobblehead", and "disappointment" -- and
hums to the tune he's down loading -- as
his way of saying thanks for the
memory.
